Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful and successful day!

I needed to share this with people who would understand and appreciate it. :)
I need to start by saying, I have EXTREME self-control issues- It is very very difficult for me to say no- especially with sweets!

Today at work, our building's management company had an ice cream social for all of the tenants. As I was coming in from my afternoon walk, I saw them just getting started with scooping and topping and drizzling.. uuuhhh... mmm....:love:

Although the smell was inciting, I looked straight ahead and walked right by it.
About 15 minutes later, I go to get water before going into a meeting- it was almost like a scene from a movie- EVERY SINGLE person I walked by was eating ice cream (in what seemed like slow motion). Get into my meeting??? Again, EVERYONE has an ice cream. I had exactly 1 1/2 hours before the social was over and to resist going downstairs to get some..

Did I make it?

Hell freaking yes. Go me.

Thanks for letting me share!

    Great job!

    I work in a "food friendly" office, where it is always something like that, birthday cake, donuts, bagels, ice cream. . . which is what was contributing to my expanding waistline. I have also learned to either pass on the goodies, or take a smaller portion and adjust my lunch intake accordingly.

    Keep up the good work.

    Yes, my office is extremely "food friendly" as well. It makes it SO hard.. yesterday was donuts- and I had a half (better than a whole!)- but its aallwwaayyss something. I can usually stay away and hide in my cubicle, but today it was just everywhere!!
    But good for you for adjusting and/or resisting in that kind of environment! I definitely feel your pain!

    Congrats! That is a MAJOR victory! My work serves cake all the time. I freaking love cake. Over time, I just learned to not even go into the breakroom when they are serving it. It is less of a temptation now! Hopefully it'll get easier for you over time as well!

    I would like to say good for you.... but remember if you had eaten the ice cream.... it wouldn't of been such a big problem... since all you would of had to do was go for another quick walk....no reason to deny yourself some of the pleasure of life....^^ Die(t) doesn't mean you have to die...
